Loved following along with your build thread, excellent mods

Company car! Now have a PHEV Suv that meets CO2 requirements!

Had to give my Focus ST back last week. I'm gonna miss it. Damn shame they stop production of these in 2025😐

Beautiful build GalaxyG! Love the engine details.

And I'm calling this one done! Was a fun little build, but I did mess up the clear coat quite badly... live & learn!

Masked inside & out for window trim & front air intakes I made the masks for the front intakes with some exposure to the front face & wiped off the excess with Thinner. Not long left now...

Was going to try to sand and polish this kit, but its too small with too many details, so I'll leave it as is. Started to do the final touches - masked and sprayed the window trim, and installing soe mesh for the front grille, unfortunately this PE mesh bends easily and then doesn't look great when reflecting lights - but its better than the decal provided with the kit.

Looks like a cool kit! I'll follow along!

Seriously impressive build from a monogram kit! Love all the details

Well worth studying every pocture, loads of detail, cool build, many pics look like a real car!

Cool lancia! Very sharp build, hopefully its refilled your confidence for your more challenging build!

Cool build, even more when you consider it took only 9 hours... love it!

Very sharp progress on this fantastic looking kit!

So this is a simple kit and probably designed for slot car conversion, but I'm going to try my best to give it some minor mods that make it look less toy llike. This pic shows how many parts there are, above and beyod this is the tyres, the clear bits and the decal sheet. The body has had the mould lines cleaned up - they were quite severe, hopefully not lost too much detail with the sanding. The seats didn't have a cushion, so made them with a sheet of styrene. The dash and foot wells look too basic - so will be modding them a bit. This will be the centre console - again out of sheet styrene These little pieces with end up being the pedals- again out of styrene sheet.

That orange looks fantastic!

Agree with Bee, great sharp builds, but the green one pops!

This is a cool build, love the LW kits, they are kust too pricey for me. The dash turned out great, love the c way that the paint looks textured. Iteresting camo design too!

Fantastic paint job! Shame the doors have to be glued shut...

Hi Sonny, it was the orange peel and graininess of the clear coat that I wasn't happy with, but it was mostly dust free - which is a first! This has now been sanded and polished using Tamiya 2000 grit wet and dry, then Micromesh 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000, then Tamiya Coarse and Fine polish. The only burn through can be seen on the very tip of the nose in the last image, I'm happy with how its turned out - now I need to mask and paint the trim!

Cool build, and what a journey, i certainly don't have the patience to perfect a model like this. The biggest problem i had with mine was the fit of the body shell to the chassis. There are some tabs in the engine bay that conflict... Good advice on the aging and just do it now!

Super cool build! Enjoying the thread!

This has now been primered, coated ina few coats of Zero Paints Metallic red mixed with Gloss Black & then coated in Proscale 2K clear. Really not happy with the clear. I think i added too much thinner. last 2 goes on this clear have not turned out well... It looks purple in real life, not brown like the images!

Cool truck, cool build, very sharp

Fantastic build, body style and colour, interior colour combo, love it!

Yeah, seems like this kit is fighting you, but looking good so far despite the decal woes
